Not really a problem with Google, it's a problem with Overture. Google is just following links. I had it happen to me once with the keyword suggestion tool (http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/), where someone linked to a data page, and it replicated out to hundreds of "unique" pages. I ended up adding this to the digitalpoint.com robots file to prevent it:


Disallow: /tools/suggestion/?
Overture could do the same (if they wanted) with:


Disallow: /d/searchinventory/suggestion/?
